Dear Watchet & Williton church friends,
Friday 29th September is a National Day Of Prayer For Schools where Youthscape and a number of other Christian organisations/charities are encouraging churches and communities across the country to take time to pray for the children, young people and adults who are part of their local school and college communities.
As part of this, Ruth and I will be hosting a prayer meeting from 7.30pm – 8.30pm at The Sanctuary in Watchet. All are welcome for this informal time of prayer.
There are also online gatherings being hosted nationally early in the morning and at lunchtime.

Every blessing,
Andy Levett Go Team Adviser for the Taunton Archdeaconry.

Both churches will usually be open every day during daylight hours.

Message from Alison, our Area Dean:
I would be very grateful if you could circulate the invitation to all congregations for Bishop Ruth’s visit
on Monday 16th October at Crowcombe Church House from 7.00 - 9.00pm. The Bishop will, amongst
other things, take open questions from the floor and there will be other Diocesan officers there too.

Wine and cheese will be served.
